The guard cells surround each stoma in a plant cell. They regulate  the opening and closing of stomata to facilitate gas exchange and  control transpiration in plants.
Structure. A stoma is the opening on a plant leaf, but there are specialized cells surrounding each stoma that control how open or closed it is. These specialized cells are called guard cells, and they are triggered by a number of factors, such as sunlight, humidity, temperature, and internal plant chemistry.uring photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in from the atmosphere through the stomata and oxygen is released as a waste product. Both photosynthesis and the gas exchange that powers it are essential to the plant's survival.
